I keep reading about side stands ( I don't even like them )
So I decided to try to build one ...
I picked up some clamps / see photo .
I had an old side stand from a China scooter .
A bolt here and a bolt there .... Done ! ... thought I would need to do some welding - Just used bolts
Works fine .
NOTE : This clamp fit a Spree so make sure and check your frame size ... different bikes different sizes ...

That's great, many will want to follow
Could you post links or dimensions of the stand and point to where member's can get the clamp?

- You can see the clamps bending a bit so I stuck some plastic spacers in to stop the bending and make it even tighter

- The tab that was sticking out from one side of the clamp I bolted a side stand from a china scooter ... EASY and no welding and fully adjustable .

After messing around with this , I thought of a friend that has a Honda Hobbit scooter and always complains about having to have his feet on the pedals .
I was messing around and thought this same clamp could be mounted anywhere on the frame .
In less than 5 min. you could make pegs ...

They are called Batten Clamps and are used in the entertainment industry .mousewheels wrote:That's great, many will want to follow

I got mine from Desert Specialty Rigging in Vegas for $5.82 ea. they are very high quality and come with bolts .
I am including the receipt and a screen shot of another place that was online you can see how the price varies
really they should cost under $ 10.00 bucks .
The ph. # of the place in Vegas is 702-798-5559 I am not sure if they ship I just know they had what I needed .
